OF course it's real. The head is certianly new. The track for the mask now has a much improved "V" shape in the center. As for the legs and chest, well, it's based off Bumblebee. What do you expect those parts to look like? What about the rest of his body looking undoubtably brand new?

its real guys, get over it.. We heard the rumor back when we heard about starscream. This is getting silly. The figure has taken elements from bothe the '07/preview deluxe Bee and the Human alliance Bee. ITS FREAKING BUMBLE BEE, IT'S GOING TO HAVE SIMILAR DESIGN ELEMENTS! I know you're upset that it's happening, and heres an idea.. If you hate it that muc.. DON'T buy it.. really isn't all that hard. I'm not saying it's wrong to not want it to happen, but there's 96 pages of fake/real BS in the news thread...

i hope its fake because this is a god awful waste of the leader size class. we already have what, like 7 or 8 deluxe bumblbees/reapints remolds of him. a human alliance Bee, 2 ultimate class figures and i cant even remember how many legend repaints. why the hell does there need to be a leader. give us a character who actually matters for gods sake.

truth be told i think this is real. Hasbro knows Bee is a big money maker. As for the parts that resemble HA Bee to some degree i think that a leader Bee will just be a modified larger HA with electronics in the end. Just my opinion

im saying most likely real or that Cyber Ops Bumblebee either way I won't be buying as im happy with my Cannon BB and i feel that leader class slot would have been better used for a larger character, such as Ironhide what it is it is
